ABOUT THE ARTIST
Tu Wei-Cheng (Taiwan, b. 1969), born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and currently lives and works in Taoyuan, Taiwan. He holds a Master’s degree in Plastic Arts from Tainan National University of the Arts and is currently an assistant professor at the Taipei National University of the Arts. Tu’s artistic style combines archaeology with technological replicas, collaging forms from different civilizations and eras. He incorporates local legends and contemporary phenomena to create a sense of dislocation between history and reality. Tu has been awarded the Taishin Art Award Jury's Special Prize and has been invited to exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum (UK), Rijksmuseum (Netherlands) and the Museum of Asian Arts (France). His works have been permanently collected by institutions such as National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts, and Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts.
